Support Jerry Day's Impactful Mission
Help Keep Jerry Day Alive — Support Our 2025 Fundraiser!
Jerry Day is more than a concert — it’s a cultural tradition, a neighborhood celebration, and a living tribute to San Francisco’s own Jerry Garcia.
Every summer, thousands gather at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park to honor Jerry’s legacy with free, family-friendly music and community. It’s a grassroots production powered by local volunteers, civic love, and a patchwork of public and private support.
But we’re now facing a critical funding challenge.
Looking ahead to Fiscal Year 2026, we’re facing an over 80% cut in city funding — which represents more than half of our annual revenue.
While this year’s event is fully funded, the years ahead are uncertain. Without early support, we may be forced to scale back or suspend community projects like the proposed Jerry Garcia Museum on the Excelsior Corridor, and other cultural initiatives that honor Jerry’s roots and serve San Francisco’s youth and creative community.
Our current production space sits between two of Jerry Garcia’s childhood homes, right in the heart of the Excelsior District. This is where the work happens — and where the dream lives.
Your donation today supports:
The long-term survival of Jerry Day
Development of other projects
A reserve fund to weather future cuts
San Francisco’s continued investment in its cultural heart
Let’s keep the spirit of Jerry Garcia alive in the city that shaped him — and the community he continues to inspire.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps amplify the impact of this incredible organization. Let’s come together to support Jerry Day / Friends of JGA and the transformative role they play in our community. Thank you for your generosity!
Donate now and help us build a future where Jerry Day thrives for generations to come.
